Chapter 595: The Battle of Mandalay (2)
"Keeping them in Mandalay is a source of instability, and I have a way to get them to Lancais." Bowen. A flash of inspiration flashed through Courtney's mind.
"But we don't have a lot of people to escort us...... When there are fewer people, they will riot and flee on the road. "Lecker really doesn't think it's a good idea.
"Don't let them have the strength to riot and run away on the road." Bowen. Courtney's smile made Lecker feel a little frightened.
It can take a lot of ways to get people up and it's expensive, but it's all too easy to get frustrated and tired...... Eight hours later, tired and hungry, the captives, dressed in only a thin layer of clothing, shivering like quails in the cold wind, were escorted by more than a hundred soldiers in the direction of Lancais.
"Immediately pass the Commander and Lord, and let Lancastes City send someone to pick up the prisoners." Bowen. Cornnet stood at the head of the city, looking at the captives' backs and commanded.
At this time, it was dark at night, but the walls of the three castles were brightly lit, and the inhabitants of Mandalay had been mobilized to repair and strengthen the walls in anticipation of the upcoming battle.
……
Looking at the hundred or so defeated soldiers in front of him, Fred felt very heartwarmed, originally thought that Mandalay was simply equivalent to a back garden, the Odin people in the west did not dare to interfere at all, and the Cordillera was far to the east, and 3,000 troops were already at ease, but no one thought that a big somersault would be planted here.
If you see this guy Attiyah, Fred really wants to hang this guy up and ask him properly...... How exactly did he lead the army. Could it be that the few thousand Cordillera troops who are now cowering in three small castles can swallow the thousands of elites of the empire in one bite?
Friede didn't believe that there must be something strange in between.
It's a pity that Attiya, a fool, did not escape, as the chief general of the Molaika army stationed in Mandalay, he was the enemy's key target, and it was not an accident that he did not escape. But it doesn't matter, as long as you take these three castles and retake Mandalay, everything will be back to its original state.
Fred believed that the Cordillera army did not have many troops, if they were truly strong. There's no need to be so sneaky and happy in the castle. This proves the weakness of their hearts.
"Hmph, such a small castle also wants to resist the attack of our army? These Cordillera troops can't help but look down on themselves. ”
Fred observed the castle's physical features and carefully evaluated the castle's defenses. What reassures him. These three castles are too much of a focus on aesthetics. Largely ignoring the castle's defensive capabilities, there are only six of the Arrow Fortress and only three of the Assault Bastion. From what was observed from the walls, the castle should not have been equipped with powerful weapons such as crossbows and trebuchets, which reassured Friede.
"Lord Fried, do we need to prepare for an attack right away?"
"No, don't worry, I think we still have time, don't rush, since we're already here, we don't plan to go back like this, we've lost nearly two thousand people, I don't want to pay more for such a few small castles, it's not worth it, maybe we have the ability to solve this problem by other means."
Fred shook his head, his deputy was too impulsive and lacked a calm mind, which was not good.
"But we-"
"Don't be impatient. Where have we magicians gone? ”
"I have already set off from Tonggu and headed south, and it is estimated that I will arrive here in two days."
"Well, good, order the strikers to push forward all the way to the Hassan Valley, see where these guys came from, find out if they have reinforcements, and how far away."
Fred nodded calmly, "But no matter how they come out, their end is the same, such a small castle, I believe that our magicians will make them understand what a real magical attack is, and they will regret it for the rest of their lives." ”
……
Pillsburg was still asleep, but the Lord's Mansion was brightly lit, and the nobles and officers who came and went were in good spirits, and the new ruler of Ostega had a late night snack in the early hours of the morning, and gathered the big men who were busy with them.
Although the era of the Philifera Dynasty is over, the royal dining that remains remains of a high standard, and the court chef prepares a sumptuous dinner for the lord who has just arrived from the Cordillera, and although the banquet held in the early hours of the morning is somewhat outrageous, no one cares about the literal meaning. They have encountered war, and war can make people lose all perception. Except for hunger and fear.
Hathaway had a good appetite and joked to the court cook that she could handle a roast suckling pig. As a result, the chef did prepare a light roast suckling pig for her, but the lord had lost interest when he saw the roast suckling pig, and hastily ended the supper, and the roast suckling pig only cut off one ear.
Most of the nobles who accompanied the lord to the feast were rotating officials from various government departments, and they were the most shrewd members of the Pillsburg aristocracy, and the shrewd people did not talk about the war at the front in their leisure time after the dinner. Seem...... The same goes for your lordship.
Alenis had to admit that she knew nothing about military affairs, and that some of the military jargon she knew had only come from the gossip of her husband's knights. So...... She was accustomed to thinking from a non-military point of view, and Alain had captured her mind.
"Where's Courtney?" As he was about to go to bed, the lord grabbed Cecia, who was in charge of intelligence. Hughes.
Cecia. Hughes counted the days, "If all goes well, Lord Courtney should be in Mandalay." ”
All the best?
Hathaway shrugged her shoulders, if everything goes well in the war, then I'm afraid it won't be called a war anymore...... However, she didn't get a good night's sleep in the end, and not long after she closed her eyes, Bowen. Courtney's report arrived, and Hathaway had to get up.
Received an urgent report from Mandalay. Hathaway had already realized a huge mistake she had made - not sending enough magicians to fight Bowen. Courtney's army was with him, a mistake that would have cost Mandalay, and Hathaway didn't want to spend much time regretting it, and how to make up for it was an urgent matter.
After immediately sending out a mage force led by Antonio, Hathaway realized that Mandalay was too far away from the Cordillera, and it would take at least three days to reach the Hassan Valley by boarding the ship through the Bruce Fortress...... Thinking of this, Hathaway immediately sent another flying squadron to Mandalay. Air containment of the Moreka Army.
Right now. Only hope in Bowen. Courtney and the others are smart, it would be best if they could resist for a while with some favorable terrain, and if they couldn't resist at all, they would have to withdraw from Mandalay. Waiting for the follow-up troops to follow up.
The Moreka Army will not be left without a Wizard unit. They'll soon get Bovin. Courtney's army suffered. In the face of the powerful magical offensive of the Moreka Empire, Hathaway felt that she might not be able to achieve victory or superiority now...... But Bowen. It would be a shame if Courtney did quit Mandalay. The Moreka will be aware of their offensive line, and once the Hassan Valley is completely blocked by the Moreka people, it will be difficult for the follow-up troops to arrive and Antonio and them will not be able to retake Mandalay from the enemy, at least at a price several times more.
Those reinforcements also made Hathaway feel uneasy, they were some inexperienced recruits, only after simple training, although their fighting qualities were good, but now they had to face the dominant regular army of Moreka, this battle was not easy.
It's not that Hathaway can't draw troops, but she can't use these forces at this stage for the time being. The frontal Moreka army is steadily advancing, a frontal war is inevitable, and although the Southern Will Federation has implicitly hinted that it will not intervene in the war between them, Hathaway never believes in these appearances, if you want to suppress the rebels' minds, only force, Hathaway only believes in the force in her own hands, only this is the most reliable.
The positive victory is what Hathaway wants to achieve the best result, to beat those guys in the Moreka Empire with dignity, and completely sweep them out of Otiga's territory, only in this way can Hathaway win the trust of the Odin Kingdom, now the Odin Kingdom has been under the double pressure of the Church of Nature and the Moreka Empire, some of them can't support it, if they can't give them a dose of stimulants to lift their spirits, then it may make all the early efforts come to naught!
As soon as Antonio and the others boarded the road to Mandalay, Hathaway put everything behind her, and now it was time to make a difference...... Full speed ahead for the present!
……
The arrival of dawn did not alleviate the oppressive feeling in the hearts of the people, and the movement of a troop made the people of Pierceburg feel the tension of the imminent war.
On the school field, the heavily armed Rock Corps and the Blue Ocean Corps are like two square pieces of cast iron, standing motionless on the right wing of the review stand, and the fierce momentum can be revealed without any pretentiousness, and the condensed atmosphere of the forest is enough to make the school field have a feeling that the frost can be scraped down, and the glittering weapons reflect the slightest coldness in the thin morning sun.
Immovable as a mountain!
Anyone who sees these two forces will have this word in their minds.
Being able to control barbarians and orcs is not an achievement, and these two races have cooperated with humans more than once in the history of the Titan world. But there is nothing like this can make these two traditionally rude races so orderly!
If they were unforged blanks when they joined the Cordillera Army, then the barbarians and orcs are now sophisticated weapons, and when they are organized and crisscrossed the battlefield, they are humanoid weapons, invincible!
The sophisticated metal armor, with a layer of tough leather, not only has an advantage in thermal performance, but also has a superior protective power, enough to withstand the direct attack of ordinary weapons, but it does not affect the skills of the warriors in the slightest, it is definitely a heavy beast-faced tower shield and a spear more than three meters long and other heavy weapons, which are very light in their hands, and the heavy short-handled battle axe and relatively flexible round shield are easier for them.
The main composition of the Blue Sea Corps of the Rock Corps is the barbarians and half-orcs, they are a pair of iron fists of the Cordillera army, which can not only resist the opponent's slashing and axe, but also swing out to hit the opponent at any time, and the powerful hitting ability is enough to make any armed force feel painful, this is the unique ace infantry in his hands, Hathaway is confident that there may only be the elite infantry of the bear clan of the orc empire on the continent - probably have the strength to compete with himself, in the human forces, There is simply no way to find a force that can compete with their two armies.
Perhaps this time it was the turn of the Moreka Empire to taste the 'surprises' brought to them by the races they called the 'Barbarian Nations', and Hathaway believed that the performance of these 'Barbarian Nations' would be an eye-opener for them.
On the left flank were the knightly troops, which, although they had just been restored, were strong enough to compete with the warriors of those two legions...... Compared to the rough equipment of the orc and barbarian warriors, the knights were much more elaborate in their attire and grooming...... The anti-magic composite armor has almost become the standard equipment of the knights of the three major knights, and the delicate and gorgeous magic symbols and spells are all over each iron leaf, which can not only enhance the toughness of the iron leaf armor, but importantly, it makes the knights have the ability to resist magic attacks in the first place.
For knights, the honor of the family and the glory of the knight always took precedence over all else, and the inscriptions and emblems carved by the knights on their helmets, shoulder rings, heart armor, and even on the heads of horses to highlight the long history of their families can be seen everywhere, and they do not want to show their difference through these accessories at all times.
In terms of weapons, they also have to show their personality characteristics, the majestic knight spear stands in the hand and the head of the gun is facing the sky, the black blade blooms in the air with fierce killing intent, these weapons are made of iron and a small amount of magic metal fusion, Shen Xiong is dignified, strong and powerful, knights can fully reflect their strength through weapons, ordinary magic shields can not resist the stabbing of these spears.
I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
